Chapter 359 Psycho!
Fang Qing is gone.
Jiang Chen was not asked to see him off. He only sent a text message before boarding the plane.
The huge Airbus taxied along the runway, then took off, blending into the blue sky and white clouds, and flew away from this bustling city.
Bulgari.
In the business suite.
Jiang Chen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, put down his cell phone, shook his head and smiled: "I left without even saying hello."
"She said there was an emergency at school."
Fu Zili, who lived upstairs, wasn't even notified. He stood next to Jiang Chen and looked at the sky, "It's time for me to go back."
"You're leaving too? Why are you in such a hurry? Play for a few days.”
Jiang Chen tried to persuade him.
“I’ve been out long enough this time, let’s do it next time.”
“All of you are busy people.” Jiang Chen smiled and said, “Okay, then I won’t keep you. "When are the tickets? I'll give them to you."
"What's there to give? It's a lot of trouble to go back and forth." Fu Zili declined.
Jiang Chen didn’t insist either.
The relationship between the two does not require so much politeness.
After having lunch together, Fu Zili left with his luggage. When he got in the car, he glanced at Jiang Chen and hesitated to speak, but in the end he said nothing.
There are some things that outsiders can only stand by and watch, unable to intervene.
After Fu Zili and Fang Qing left, another guest came to the East China Sea.
Hollywood director.
Thomas Felson.
“Jiang.”
As soon as they met at CX Entertainment, this well-known international director gave Jiang Chen a warm hug.
“Director Fei is getting younger and younger.”
“Haha, is it because I shaved off my beard?”
“No, I don’t mean that. Not just the appearance, but the soul.”
“There is an old saying in the East that people are in high spirits during happy events. This should be the reason.”
Thomas Felson smiled brightly. Eastern culture seems to be becoming more and more popular around the world. If you can't say a few words casually, you may be embarrassed to say that you are an upper-class person.
“Let’s talk in my office.”
Jiang Chen nodded with a smile and led the other party to the office.
"Jiang, the script has been sent to you, what do you think?"
The script was originally expected to be completed in mid-May, but it is only the end of April, a full half month ahead of schedule.
This shows how much Thomas Felson attaches great importance to this movie.
It is said that he wrote most of the script himself.
"Yes, but there is one thing that I think is worthy of discussion."
Jiang Chen has already read the cross-border email.
This is a story about science fiction and disaster.
Hollywood has always been an expert in this regard, and Thomas Felson is an even better expert in this genre.
And he also fulfilled his promise and injected a lot of oriental elements into the script, such as Taoism and martial arts. Even many of the monsters in it came from the sacred book Shan Hai Jing,
From a personal perspective, Jiang Chen really likes this story.
If it could really be filmed, the scene would definitely surpass any disaster movie ever made.
Nothing more.
Sometimes the idea is very good, but I am afraid of putting it into practice. Will not achieve the desired effect.
"Jiang, what do you think is wrong?"
Thomas Felson asked hurriedly,
Although he is the chief director, in this industry, directors will always Just a high-end wage earner.
The capital is the real controller.
"We will talk about the script later. Director Fei, can these monsters in the Classic of Mountains and Seas really be perfectly presented in the current film industry?"
"Jiang, you can rest assured about the special effects issue. I have already communicated with Industrial Light and Magic, and they have expressed great interest. Although there are certain difficulties, those crazy people just like freshness and challenges."
< br>Industrial Light & Magic.
The world's premier special effects company.
In terms of visual production, I am afraid no one can match it.
A series of classic blockbusters such as "Star Wars", "Transformers", "Harry Potter" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" can achieve brilliant results, and it plays an important role.
It is precisely because of Industrial Light and Magic's unparalleled visual effects production capabilities that Hollywood is able to dominate the global market.
Even though he knew nothing about the film industry, Jiang Chen had inevitably heard of the famous name of Industrial Light and Magic.
He was immediately relieved when he heard that Industrial Light and Magic was willing to cooperate.
"Director Fei, I have a request."
"Jiang, you say."
"The image in the Classic of Mountains and Seas must be restored 100%, and nothing can be done Changes."
Thomas Felson said with a disapproving smile: "Jiang, do you know how much hair I lost for this script? I don't want to waste any more brain cells."
< br>
Jiang Chen smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
Thomas Felson sighed: "I really don't know how so many terrible monsters were imagined. It's really amazing. Could it be that before they were really "Have you ever existed in this land?"
The two talked happily.
“Dong dong dong…”
A knock on the door sounded.
“Come in.”
With Jiang Chen’s words, the office door was pushed open.
It’s Pei Yunxi.
"Pei, we meet again."
Thomas Felson turned back with a smile on his face, without any airs of a famous director.
"Director Fei."
Pei Yunxi smiled elegantly.
“Sit down.”
Jiang Chen motioned.
Since I came back from Yunfu last time, the two of them haven’t seen each other for a while.
Pei Yunxi seemed to be deliberately avoiding him, and he did not bother or harass her.
"Pei, have you read the script?"
Thomas Felson asked kindly.
Pei Yunxi, who sat down on the chair next to her, nodded. After Jiang Chen received the script, he immediately sent her a copy.
“What do you think of this script?”
Pei Yunxi was caught off guard when he heard Thomas Felson's question.
According to her status, she is not qualified to make irresponsible remarks on the script.
“I think it’s pretty good.”
Although he was “bringing capital into the group,” Pei Yunxi still kept a tight end.
But Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "I do think there is something that needs to be changed."
Thomas Felson quickly looked towards him.
Pei Yunxi is no exception.
Perhaps after this period of relaxation, this actress, whose gestures are indeed full of oriental charm, seems to have recovered from the kidnapping incident, and there is nothing strange on her face.
"Jiang, what do you think needs to be changed?"
"The emotional line between the male protagonist and the female protagonist."
Jiang Chen put his arms on the table and said methodically: "Since the movie focuses on visual effects, there is no need to forcefully add emotional scenes. Moreover, the living environment and cultural customs of the male and female protagonists are so different that it would be too blunt to have them together. , not enough sense of substitution. It is better to make them a pair of friends who are friends in times of need. Perhaps this kind of friendship can sublimate the theme of the movie more than the cliché love. "
Thomas Felson thoughtfully.
Don’t say it.
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.
Who said movies must have love elements? This is completely a misunderstanding.
"Jiang, you are right! I am limited. I immediately changed the script."
This change is actually not difficult at all.
The silent Pei Yunxi looked at Jiang Chen.
The other person has a natural look and seems to be serious just for the movie.
After a moment of silence, Pei Yunxi also expressed his views on his role.
“I haven’t had much contact with the Miao people before, so it may be difficult to perform.”
That’s right,
The identity of the heroine in the script is a Women of the Miao ethnic group live in the deep mountains. They have special bloodlines and master the mysterious beast-control skills. They are also the key to resolving disasters in the movie.
Just like there are more and more black people in Hollywood blockbusters now.
Thomas Felson’s setting of the heroine as an Eastern minority is considered unique.
“This is not a problem. When Director Fei came to China this time, he originally planned to visit Yunnan and Guizhou. Just go with Director Fei. There are many Miao people living there. It’s immersive. You should be able to experience their living habits and cultural customs better, which will help you better embody this role."
"Jiang, your proposal is quite good."
Thomas Fei. Erson agreed.
Being an actor is actually not an easy job.
certainly.
This refers to the kind of actors with professional qualities.
The characteristics and conditions of each role are different. In order to play a role well, an actor may need to lose weight in a masochistic way, or gain weight in a self-destructive way. Under certain circumstances, he may need to Get skills training.
Pei Yunxi has the reputation he has today, and there is no doubt about his professionalism. He has no objections to going to Yunnan and Guizhou to observe the living habits of the Miao people.
“Jiang, it’s time to decide on the male protagonist.”
Thomas Felson reminded.
Jiang Chen nodded, "Does Director Fei have any potential candidates?"
Thomas Felson quickly reported several names, and without exception, they were all famous Hollywood superstars. "Jiang, who do you think is more suitable?"
Pei Yunxi looked at the young man sitting on the boss's chair.
It is true that she is the most popular top player in the country, but compared with the names of Thomas Felsenti, she is not at the same level.
Two of them are Oscar winners and are now prominent figures among actors.
There is no doubt that after the movie is released, it will definitely attract a lot of criticism, but she is already prepared.
“What do you think?”
Thomas Felson asked Jiang Chen, but Jiang Chen immediately asked Pei Yunxi for his opinion.
Big names have the right to choose partners, but being able to participate in such a grand production and serve as the heroine is already a blessing. She has no right to be picky.
Besides, which of these prepared male protagonists is not more famous and more qualified than her?
"...You and Director Fei can decide."
Jiang Chen didn't force it.
"Director Fei, you can decide on your own as to who is the male lead. I have no objection."
As a famous Hollywood director, Thomas Felson's vision for casting is unquestionable. Yes, and these people he named are all powerful.
The three of them chatted in the office for half a morning.
Thomas Felson is indeed a workaholic. Jiang Chen refused even if he invited him to dinner and hurried back to the hotel to revise the script.
After the great director left, the atmosphere undoubtedly became a little more subtle.
Jiang Chen looked at that face that he could never tire of looking at.
Pei Yunxi, who pretended to be natural, tilted his head slightly and looked away.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to get busy next.”
Jiang Chen sighed.
Pei Yunxi, who rarely takes such a long break, really hopes that the filming of this movie can start earlier, not to cause a sensation at home and abroad, but once the filming of the movie starts, she will not have so much time. Go and think wildly.
"Have you... recovered?"
She finally asked.
Jiang Chen was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm.
"Well, it's okay."
Pei Yunxi suddenly picked up the bag, took out a medicine box from it, put it on the table, and pushed it over.
“What is this?”
Jiang Chen was curious.
"An imported ointment that I asked a friend to bring abroad. I have used it before and it has a relatively good effect on removing scars."
Jiang Chen was dumbfounded.
The injury is almost healed, but the wound on his lower back did leave a small scar.
Li Shurui often touched that area, but she never asked in detail what happened.
“I’m not a woman, it’s just a little scar, it doesn’t bother me.”
Jiang Chen made an understatement.
He really didn't care, and was even grateful.
If it had been a little higher at that time, it would not only have left an insignificant scar, but it would have had a devastating impact on the rest of his life.
The doctor said that the kidney would be punctured if it was only a small amount.
It goes without saying how important kidneys are to men.
Pei Yunxi seemed to be just fulfilling his obligation, regardless of whether the other party would use it.
"I'm leaving first."
She picked up her bag and planned to get up and leave.
“Wait a minute.”
Jiang Chen stopped her.
Pei Yunxi paused.
“How about I accompany you to Yunnan and Guizhou.”
Jiang Chen said.
"What are you going to do?"
Pei Yunxi said subconsciously.
“You said that if there were another Prince Zhang or Prince Li, wouldn’t it be dangerous again?”
Jiang Chen was upright and said, “I will go with you, no matter what. Can protect you."
"..."
Although Jiang Chen does not seem to be able to give people a strong visual sense of security, he has two experiences in Guangdong and Guangdong that have led him to behave like this. The words are impossible to refute.
Pei Yunxi was silent for a while.
"Do you think there are many people like Ye Tingxuan in the world?"
"Probably not many."
Jiang Chen shook his head.
"But it is said that the Miao people can cast poison. You said that if you went there and the son of a Miao clan leader took a fancy to you and placed a love poison on you, wouldn't it be even more..."
“What nonsense are you talking about!”
Pei Yunxi couldn’t bear it anymore.
Jiang Chen is still very serious: "Don't you know? After the love voodoo is placed on you, you will be controlled by the voodoo and become obsessed with the person who used it. This is what is written in novels."
Pei Yunxi's expression changed. Finally, he grabbed his bag, stood up and left quickly, leaving only one sentence.
“Crazy!”
Although I don’t know if this is the first time she has cursed someone, it is indeed the first time Jiang Chen has heard her curse someone.
There is something to say.
Want to conquer the goddess.
The first step is to drag her down from the altar.
When she stops holding back in front of you and reveals her true emotions, it means that most of the success is achieved.
This is why it is often said that hitting is intimacy and scolding is love. In fact, it is the same truth.
Jiang Chen, who was scolded, did not feel unhappy at all. He picked up the box of ointment and slowly leaned on the boss's chair with a contented look on his face.
